But the Choicest and Best of it all to me
Were the wonderful Fish-balls one could see
At the booth of a well known Gloucester firm,
Who at good fortune had taken their turn;
Shute & Merchant had chosen this stand
To show up their “Fibered,” “the Gold Wedge brand.”
A wonderful product, so pure and white,
No bones,—no work,—no odor—but light
As a feather, the fish balls came;
’Twas all they could do to furnish the same
